- Is compression available on SCO UNIX tar?
- The Norton Utilities for UNIX mumbles something during install about the
- distribution diskettes being compressed, and requiring a certain revision
- of SCO in order to work.
- Sure enough, a "tar xv" from the command line yields 1880K from a 1.2MB
- diskette. doing a "tar cvf /tmp/junk ." yields a 1660K archive.
